I’m not trying to prove it wrong, it’s not wrong in my opinion. We can dismiss Trumps racist rantings to the most ignorant Americans at his rallies. We can dismiss whether it’s republicans or democrats who are not able to get it in control.
Or who can’t or won’t fix the reasons for so much gun violence.

But gun control can’t be dismissed and we can’t keep making excuses on why we can’t get rid of guns.
What's being allowed to happen in this country is EXACTLY the reason why there's a second amendment and exactly why we should be prepared to fight to the death to keep our bill of rights in place. The framers were smart men, and had already lived through a revolution.
How long are people going to be using the 1700’s to discuss the problems of today. The founding fathers owned slaves and believed that people with pale skin were superior. They weren’t some gods who could see 200 years into the future.

Nothing is happening today that’s any different than 50 years ago except mass shootings. And way too many gun owners waving them around.
No one needed to be a soothsayer. All you need is a grasp on human beings and how they think. The players may change. The landscape may look different. But human nature will always surface.

We're the ones that lead the rest of the world in abolishing slavery. Because "all men are created equal". The slave trade is alive and well in many countries today. OUR people are protected by the constitution. Look into slavery today in Saudi Arabia as one example.

Regardless of time, there will ALWAYS be those that want to live in peace and there will ALWAYS be those that want to exert supreme power and dominion over everyone and everything. It goes back before the 1700s. It goes back to the beginning of recorded history, one group conquering another country and then setting up a dictatorship.

This is why we're the last bastion of freedom ... BECAUSE we have our constitution and bill of rights, which short circuits all of that and protects us from living under a dictator. We're allowed to defend ourselves against enemies both foreign and domestic.

It's why our relatives came here. It's why multitudes of people apply for citizenship every year. It's why immigrants risk life and limb and risk their children's lives just to get here any way they possibly can. If this falls, there is LITERALLY NO WHERE else to go. I for one am absolutely not letting it happen.

We have the next generation to preserve this world for. When all's said and done, regardless of the result, I'm not going to be remembered as having laid down and accepted our way of life being destroyed.
Let's Go Brandon!
